Student Festivals are an important part of the Network. These are events in which international exchange between students and educators can happen. It is a bridge for cultural exchange, mutual understanding and friendship.
Experience shows that Student Festivals should not include too many schools, that is why the ITI/UNESCO Network may be involved in more than one encounter a year, each one inviting a set of different theatre, dance or performing arts institutions.
Possible forms are festivals focusing solely on theatre or dance, or festivals focussing more generally on the performing arts. They may include workshops, master classes, and joint projects from the attending students. Moreover, a student festival may also be done in association with other networks.
